Jets aggressive

I kinda like the general look of it but 1) signing Kadri for that amount is going to age badly IMO 2) I would rather keep a well established shutdown RHD in DeMelo than get a 2nd round pick 3) Pionk > Dumba to me, but I understand that you had to cut someone loose for the general thing 4) I can't really see OTT aiming for Schmidt 5) And I can't see MIN aiming for Wheeler 6) I'm not very sold on Pulju, he already had that top deployment (with McD as well) and proved that he is a 3rd liner to me.. Overally a very interesting take

This is an absolute no from wild . They aren't trading dumba to take on wheeler and his contract. Doesn't matter that you are retaining. Minnesota doesn't need a mid 30's player with injuries and aging bad contract

Hard pass on Dumba and a 2nd for Wheeler. I don't care if there is money retained, he's still got 2 years at a cap hit he's still not worth here. To give up a top 4 defenseman and a top 50 pick for Wheeler, in any capacity is terrible

And before someone brings up Wheeler hitting 60 points, he only hit half that total at 5v5 and has one of the worst defensive impacts in the league. On top of all that, there seems to be a case for him being a toxic leader.

No one should have any interest in Wheeler, especially if that's his price

No chance at Buffalo moving Dahlin, and especially not with Scheifele as the center piece.

They’ve made worse decisions!
